Anthony Albanese has only himself to blame.
Instead of an anti-racism expert, he chose to appoint a pro-Israel lobbyist, masquerading as 'envoy'.
While totally ignoring that important, evidence-based work done by the independent race discrimination commissioner.

New Illustration: "We Beat 'Em Before..."
Taken from a British WW2 poster, the original features a WW1 German soldier at the top. I just swapped it for the Nazi soldier it had at the bottom.

I've never been more convinced Australia has the worst mainstream journalists in the world. Simple, thick, racist, ahistorical, bootlicking dipshits that lie and screech more than they think and feel. This weaponisation of a tragedy against anti-genocide voices is grotesque.

As I understand today's discussion, we can stop an ISIS cell by policing the speaker list at writer's festivals and the BA syllabus at Unis. And by "stopping demonstrations." This is madness.

This is a great essay: "The real history of Italian food is turbulent: a saga of hunger, improvisation, migration, industrialisation and sheer survival instinct." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
The myth of traditional Italian cuisine has seduced the world. The truth is very different | Alberto Grandi
The comforting tourist-brochure idea of what Italian food looks like obscures a story shaped by hunger, migration and innovation, says Alberto Grandi, author and professor of food history

Too many people act like being wrong makes you subhuman, when it’s in fact the most human of traits.

“We have to accept that Australia has a neo-liberal Labor govt whose priority is to win the next election, not to implement the priorities of the people.”
If Albo won’t do it…
It’s time to push back.
Vote Greens or community independents.
